thanks andrew wiggins

It's basically molten's version of the official NBA game ball. Since they both are not that great at the start, but once broken in, it's like the best basketball to play with

I bought my son this ball, and he plays ball 4 or 5 days a week and only uses this ball for about 2 months now he loves it, he sweats alot and seems the more sweaty you get the better the grip gets , if I buy another ball it will be a molten again , like you said great ball, and I noticed most young hoopers think aww that ball is cheap ain't no good but the real hoopers and old heads are like your tripping that is one of the best balls made!!!!

I try to tell people. Once you get use to playing with a leather basketball you will never be want to play with a composite again. Especially the Evolution. It’s just better. But people are afraid because it’s different and they think the plush spongey feel makes a basketball good. But it actually makes it worse.

Got a molten GL7, spalding game ball & bg5000. It’s really easy to break the ball in compared to the two balls & it’s a lot softer. GL7 & spalding takes forever to break in specially no one wants to play with those. Love the feel of the leather being grippy specially when there’s moisture without being sticky like composite balls. 🙂

Nice review. Honest.

Finally 😍

Good looking out on the review, fam. Im probably finna cop this. Was looking for a good full lesther ball, as i have never owned one.

Right with you on this one I love this ball I've played with it before but im about to buy it myself.

Finally!

Great review! Not so many people have reviews of Molten balls. Especially the BG5000. Like you said, a lot of people aren’t going to buy a $100+ ball. I want to get an outdoor ball cause I am not trying to destroy my Evolution outside. The BG3800 seems to be my choice for my next outdoor only ball. But with that being said, I’m really curious to see how the Molten balls are. I want to get another indoor only ball too but since the BG5000 is over a bill, I might just get the BG4500 to go with my Evolution. For some reason, I don’t love the way the Wilson Evolution bounces. But the Evolution is what 90 percent of everyone that plays at the gym plays with. Great review though! Definitely going to check out the Molten.

Played with the molten bg3800 and you are right about everything you said, the way it bounces off the backboard is alot different than usual but in a good way once u get a good feel for it, also the jumpshot does have to be more fundamentally sound but I like it because it forces you to be more precise. Overall a great ball once broken in. Anyone who buys one please don't judge it off the first few times playing with it. After a while you will adjust

i copped the bg5000 yesterday, should be coming next week. Im so hype! Great vid btw bro

Yo, For real.. This video convinced me to get the BG5000. Molten should be paying you

😳

great work mate, just some advise for future videos you could possibly pre write the main things you want to say because the pace of the vid has a few of pauses or you cold possibly write what you want to say then cut the clip and say you next point. ( be more upbeat)

I have both wilson nba game ball and molten bg5000. So far i have played with wilson for ~20 hours but still feel not so good that i'm running out of patience. However bg5000 is much easier to be broken in, although i only played with it for 5~8 hours, it already became much better than the new one.

First

Same if you come to my gym even with a fully broken in nba game ball from spalding... some say feels quiet ok others say nah just play with a sticky composite. I noticed playing leather balls and then playing a composite it feels easier in many ways. But I love leather balls, also have the Molten GL7 which is so nice and the GL7x which compared to the GL7 is trash tbh. I will definetly try to get a 5000 this year and a Wilson NBA Game Ball when available again here in Germany.

How's the grip on the ball? I hear leather balls grip better when wet after broken in?

Thanks Anthony edwards

I see some Molten hoopers in here, I wanna ask if anyone has a OUTDOOR only Molten suggestion? I have tried finding a model that lauds it as a strength but no such luck.

How long did it take you to break it in? Because Mine is now 2 months old and it feels slippery. I had one in my hands that felt very gripy and i Wonder if it just takes more time or if mine is just awkward. Would appreciate an answer✌🏻

I’ve been playing with real leather basketball my whole life. But since I moved to the USA, I can’t play properly because the Wilson Evolution messed up my rhythm and feeling, especially when I shoot the ball, I flick my wrist during the release and the Evolution stay in the air for too long and it doesn’t go down straight due to the shape of the basketball seams. And Evolution gets bad when sweat gets on it….

Something interesting I noticed is that all the bg5000 balls I have seen and the “valid threw 2030” but on mine it says “level 1 2023-2027” so does that mean it’s fake?

Have you managed to measure the actual weight? Mine is just around 584grams /20 oz. Let me know what's your measurements please. Thx!

Thx Andrew Wiggins

how long did it take to break in?

What's better the wilson evoluiton or the bg5000

It Actually look smaller when the break in

Does everybody else like playing with it

The molten BG5000 on Amazon legit???

Just got mine and breaking it in, very slippery

How is the ball rightnow? Does it have a hole??

Thanks for the review! Seems to be the cheapest leather ball

Can you play with this ball outdoor?

can I say, you look like Andrew Wiggins

i thought ur andrew wiggins lol

U don't look like andrew but it's the hair

Worst ball I’ve ever owned. Literally the opposite to the GF7X I lost, and dearly miss.

SAME HERE...+BG3700+ GF7X...A QUICK SOAP SHOWER AND WIPE IT
